HUBJECT GMBH

Their core work

Hubject is a Berlin-based SME specializing in electric vehicle charging interoperability and eRoaming platforms, enabling seamless access to charging infrastructure across networks and borders. In H2020 projects, they contribute expertise in charging station business models, interoperability standards, and platform solutions that connect EV drivers with diverse charging options. Their work spans the full e-mobility value chain — from light electric vehicle (LEV) charging to smart charging integrated with local renewable energy sources, always with a focus on user experience and market uptake.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Hubject's early H2020 involvement (2016–2018) centered on proving the e-mobility concept — field demonstrations, collecting real usage data, and validating market uptake and business models through projects like NeMo and ELVITEN. From 2018 onward, their focus shifted decisively toward technical depth: smart charging integrated with renewables, interoperability standards, scalable infrastructure, and planning tools for optimal deployment. The trajectory shows a company that moved from demonstrating that EV charging works to engineering how it scales.

Hubject is moving toward integrated, scalable charging ecosystems — expect future work on grid-aware charging, multi-modal vehicle support, and AI-driven location optimization.

How they like to work

Hubject consistently participates as a partner rather than leading consortia, bringing specialized platform and interoperability expertise to large, multi-partner projects. With 99 unique partners across 20 countries in just 4 projects, they operate in sizeable consortia and appear comfortable as a cross-cutting technology contributor rather than a domain owner. This makes them a reliable, low-friction partner for coordinators who need an interoperability or platform layer without competition for project leadership.

Hubject has built a broad European network of 99 unique partners across 20 countries through four large consortia, giving them connections spanning Western, Northern, and Southern Europe. Their network is notably wide for a company with only four projects, reflecting their role in large-scale demonstration and innovation actions.

What sets them apart

Hubject occupies a rare niche as an SME that bridges the gap between charging hardware providers, energy utilities, and mobility service platforms — few organizations combine interoperability platform expertise with hands-on project experience in field demonstrations and business model validation. Their position as a neutral eRoaming and interoperability provider makes them a natural fit for any consortium that needs to ensure charging solutions work across operators and borders. For coordinators, they bring both technical integration capability and real market knowledge of what makes EV charging commercially viable.

Highlights from their portfolio

• eCharge4Drivers
  Largest single funding (EUR 549,631) and most recent project, covering the full spectrum from DC charging to LEV infrastructure and location planning tools.
• NeMo
  First H2020 project and second-largest funding (EUR 531,670), focused on building a hyper-network for electromobility — directly aligned with Hubject's core eRoaming mission.
• GreenCharge
  Marked Hubject's expansion into energy system integration, connecting smart charging with local renewables and sustainable urban mobility planning (SUMP).
